Gadding About: Hosier Lane

I had a distastrous Friday afternoon. I went to pick up Husband's wedding band and it was repaired incorrectly, then I went to look at the Disney exhibition at ACMI and left without realising there was a whole other section* I hadn't seen yet (and thus couldn't blog about), then I had to pay FORTY EIGHT DOLLARS for two hours of parking at a car park on Flinders Street.

So instead I present you with this photo of just some of the awesome street art in Hosier Lane, Melbourne.

* FYI, what I did see of the exhibition was really, really cool, so you must go and have a look (at the whole thing).

$48?? My mind is reeling. And thinking of all the other things that ca be bought with that money. Pure highway robbery.

I KNOW! I was furious. It was like lighting a $50 bill on fire. I was in such a bad mood when I got home.

What is with that car park charge?! Was your car being guarded by Ninjas or something?
Sorry your Friday afternoon was such a bust. Here's to a better Friday this week!

Caroline, it was INSANE. And the annoying thing is there were no signs at the entrance to indicate what the hourly rate was, so I had no idea what I would be paying until the end. That was my mistake. As with clothes, if the cost isn't on display, avoid it altogether!

Sorry about the $48.00, but LOVE the street art pic. FaBuLoUs!!

Jenny, that's just a small sample. The entire lane is covered in graffiti that is so incredibly artistic and compelling.

Your blog rules. I imagine that's what my blog could be like if I spent less time reading other blogs and more time updating my own. Kudos to you.

Oh and don't worry - about a month ago I paid $48 for two hours parking, then exited the car park only to get clipped by a bus. *sigh*
